Oh the orange and the black Worth and wisdom ne’er did lack, So with pride we will look back. Steamboat High, Steamboat High. So with pride we will look back. Steamboat High. Comrades dear we soon must part. Steamboat High, Steamboat High. But to leave you grieves each heart, Steamboat High, Mr. Thompson, now adieu We will e er think of you, For you’ve guided our bark through Steamboat High, Steamboat High. For you’ve guided our bark through Steamboat High. On life’s sea we now set sail, Steamboat High, Steamboat High. May we safely stem the gale, Steamboat High, Steamboat High. Through the land we’ll spread our fame. To your colors ne'er bring shame, Praise and honor to your name. Steamboat High, Steamboat High. Praise and honor to your name. Steamboat High. ---------S-------- CLIMB THOUGH THE ROCKS BE RUGGED (Senior Class Poem) One step we have taken toward the heights. The valley of childhood’s years In the background lies; before us rise Life’s mountainous hopes and fears. We will miss the hands that guided here When the path grows dim, And the way seems long; but youth is strong. And we place our trust in Him. There’s none but can, with the current drift, Or walk where the path’s made straight; But a man’s a man, who says, “I can,” And wins ’gainst the odds of fate. What matter if stones our journey mark. We pass o’er them not in vain. From our sliding feet, they bar retreat, And so help us hold each gain. Oh, be not dismayed, the higher rise The dark crags of storm and stress, When their crest’s attained, the more we’ve gained Toward the hill-tops of success. Let our eyes be on the summit fixed. “Low aim,” we know, “is crime.” Till we’ve reached the top, we must not stop. “Though the rocks be rugged, climb.” —E. E. C.

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL ’23 SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS (Grace Furlong) Ladies and gentlemen, our honorable faculty and fellow students: As I come before you this evening to make the president’s address of the Class of 1923, I cannot help but be carried back some twelve years ago, when a portion of our members were entertaining you as kindergarten students with that good old song, The Muffin Man,” that was taught to us by Mrs. B. G. Bradley, who was then our beloved kindergarten teacher. Step by step and year by year we have success- fully passed our grades until tonight we stand be- fore you as the 1923 graduating class from the Steamboat Springs High School. In all our studies, our athletics and 0’»r school oratoricals, I assure you that each member of our class has had upper- most in his mind to do good, honest and effective work. We have loved and respected our faculty and we are sure that from the kind treatment and many favors we have received from them that this love and respect has been returned. The class of 1923 has been granted the privil- SALUTATORY (Theodore Larson) Friends, it is indeed a pleasure to me as a mem- ber of the class of 1923 to welcome you here to- night. W'e who are graduating from High School tonight are glad that you are taking this interest in our welfare. We are glad that you are interested in what we have done, in what we are doing now, and what we will do in the future. We have studied and worked for four years, and though our tasks have sometimes been irksome, and we thought ourselves badly abused, we have re- alized that you, dear friends, were ever back of us and giving us your moral support. This inspired and encouraged us so that we have applied our- selves diligently, until we have completed our course and are now on firm ground. This evening marks the climax of our High School career. We are leaving our posts in High School and are ready to take a step forward to some other station in life. It may take courage to take i this new step right and we are none too sure of ourselves. Nevertheless we push out boldly for we know by your very presence here this evening that you are still as you have always been, our sympa- 1. William Harris 2. Elnora Chesterman 3.

Friends, those who will follow me this evening in addressing you as valedictorian, salutatorian and others will clearly prove to you, I am sure, that we have fairly and squarely earned and are worthy of the diplomas which you are pre- presenting us. Fellow classmates, I implore you to regard this day as the commencing of your life’s duty and net the finishing of your school work. Psychology teaches us that in order for a man to be content with his life work it is necessary for him to learn something new each day. This is a great teaching and I charge you to go on with your studies in some form. Should the life work you will choose take you into a clerical or professional line, be sure that you study and follow out the teaching that in order to be happy and contented it is necessary to learn something new each day. Words are too feeble to express the appreciation of my class for the many, many great kindnesses and favors we have received from our faculty and our fellow schoolmates and I beg of you to accept our sincere thanks for these favors and my earnest desire is that each member of the class may go forth into the world as a shining light, represent- ing the fulfillments of the hopes and efforts you have planted in our public schools. thizers and well-wishers and we are grateful to have so many friends here to sanction our effort and en- courage us as we pass on from post to post. Our motto is “Climb Though the Rocks be Rug- ged.” We have learned that what is worth having is worth working for. We have been trained to see the light and now as we are leaving High School to complete our higher education or to make our mark in the world it is for us to make good and to prove our worth. We who have here learned to climb feel that we will be able to cope successfully with any future hardships; to keep step with the leaders and continue to climb toward the highest ideals. In this manner we hope to prove ourselves a credit to our friends who have watched our progress and to this High School from which we are now taking our leave. Let me again extend you a cordial welcome here tonight and to thank you for what your presence here represents. We sincerely hope that you will enjoy this little program which we have arranged for you and that it will be worthy of your approval. -----------------------S-------- St. Peter—You say you didn’t subscribe for the Steamboat Whistle?
